  • I am glad you are diversifying your channel. This was back when The Today Show was respectable. And would come on just before game shows

  • Or as the case may be with this tape, just before an episode of "Geraldo".

  • Yea the '88 drought I lived in Minot ND and was 8 years old...killer hot summer never below 90 wild fires everywhere. It was a great time to be a kid in America though

  • Aw, Williard Scott before he got all old and groppy......poor old man...

  • Ohh, I remember the '88 drought. It was hotter than hell that summer. Highs in the 100s with 90% humidity was rough on me even at 8 years old. Would probably kill me now :-P

  • Great stuff and good observations you made. Thanks.

  • 11/10 Wonderful News footage!! Thank you for continuing to find these gems!
